Has anyone tried cranial sacral therapy for tinnitus relief?

Hi Jimmuck like a lot of my fellow "T" friends i have read a lot on the "T" subject and i can tell you every article will always tell you to be careful and steer clear of these so called cures, in the early days i to sought out cures for the dreaded "T" and at one time was quoted 5 to 6 thousand pounds for one so called cure and on researching this found that it was no more than a sound generator with a lot of appointments and verbal "----", my advice is to stick with the NHS it is time consuming but they do know best.

All the very best.

How expensive are you talking?

The medical people advise against trying all the various different alternative therapies, as the chances are they won't get rid of your T and you'll likely get more despondent as you tick them off your list. That said, they realise that people will try things - if it's not thousands, what's the worst that can happen?

it sounds like cranial sacral therapy is an 'alternative' and it's main proponents are those who practice it. I really do think that using the money for some stress free relaxation would be a better way to use the cash. A nice long weekend somewhere you have always wanted to go would be my suggestion. As for 'out there' therapies it's not for me to rubbish them but I am hugely skeptical. I'm not broke but I would not go this way.

I have to confess that apart from giving me a feeling of deep relaxation, the head noise did not abate after cranial sacral therapy ....and I also actually had a couple of sessions with JCH himself - again lovely relaxation but no improvement. However that's just me - it may well have had a beneficial effect on others.

Good luck.

Thanks for all your replies which are greatly appreciated. Cranial sacral therapy sounded as if it might offer some relief but taking your comments on board, I think I'll give it a miss!

As a registered practitioner in Cranial Osteopathy [26 yrs} I eventually refused Tinnitus patients as I could not justify accepting fees without being able to guarantee any success...

Hi Caromia,

Thanks for your reply. I admire your honesty as I suspect there are other practitioners out there who would simply take the money from people who are desperate to find some relief. I had never even heard of this treatment until I started looking around the internet and I am so glad I joined this forum to get the opinions of other tinnitus sufferers or I would probably be halfway through a course of very expensive treatment by now! Best wishes.

I went to Julian Cowan Hill I had 2 sessions it is expensive you have to have quite a few sessions I stopped mainly because it was just too expensive

I didn't really get any difference in my Tinnitus he swears and has proof he cured his own tinnitus I can't remember if he cured it his own tinnitus or got it to a low level but I wouldn't bother with trying it again I have learnt to manage my tinnitus and live practically living a normal life I do take extra care not to get ear infections or wax build up and never get water in your ear even when showering.

I’m currently seeing Julien , you get a real sense of calmness after a session with him and coping exercises when yuo get stressed, I never really expected him to reduce my ringing , my tinittus became louder 3 months ago , I’m hoping I can cope better in time , as struggling with it at mo
